A brilliant film that helped define a genre
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

... View MoreIn Arizona, after twenty-one years in prison, Wilson (Robert Foster) is released at the same time as Lee Marvin (Richard Roundtree) and while driving back home, they have a conversation about their future plans. Lee is absolutely regenerated while Wilson plots revenge against the despicable criminal Mackey (Robert Loggia), who framed him and was the responsible for his conviction. Wilson invites Lee and Mackey to heist a bank and raise money. Meanwhile, a group of young smalltime crooks plan the heist of the same bank to raise money for drugs, booze and women, and the clumsy Connor (Christopher Clark) becomes a serious threat for his friends with his shotgun.The pretentious and boring "Wild Seven" has the intention to be a cult-movie or at least cool, but the work of the director completely fails. The result is a confused movie that goes nowhere, with awful screenplay and direction where the true intention of the revenge of Wilson is never clearly disclosed; the motivation of the youngsters is also obscure and the characters are terribly developed. In the end, watching this film was a complete waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Os 7 Selvagens" ("The Wild Seven")

View MoreIn desperate need of a plot line to do them justice.Art is worth nothing when you leave your customers feeling short-changed.I thought the 3 older leads where well chosen and had the laid-back cool that in the hands of a better director could have made a cult movie. As it was there were too many scenes that made little or no sense and felt forced upon the viewer in order to get to the climax.I can't help but feel that somewhere on the cutting room floor lies an excellent film that would leave the audience talking about it around the water-cooler, unfortunately one that is destined never to see the light of day.
... View MoreThis movie had the framework to be very good. It has a good cast with an interesting premise and I dug the gritty style. It starts out and you think this movie is gonna take off and then it slows down till the final scene. The older cast of actors led by Robert Forster take on roles you have never seen them in. Although I felt Robert Loggia was merely reprising the same role he had in Lost HIghway. I thought the script was interesting, I thought the full circle karma thing was pretty cool, and there was some foreshadowing through out the movie that you figure out towards the end. But as I said there is about 35 min of this movie That I could have dome with out. I think this movie could have been a mini series on HBO or something. Each episode would have been each one of the seven characters stories. It has a great different look and format which we are not used to seeing, but I thought wild seven could have use just a little fine tuning.
... View Moresaw this minutes ago and looked it up cause i had never heard of it. though i think a ten OR nine is way high for this picture, i must say i enjoyed it. it's way to short, to start and the narrative gets shaky from time to time, but it's a fun story....a quick little ride. a couple of the younger actors didn't do it for me, but they seem like they're probably new to the whole thing. what hooked me from the getgo was brains painting the ceiling..gotta love when a character gets his head blown off in the first six minutes...either way, i felt like the story didn't want me to know he was his father, but the story also didn't tell me i wasn't supposed to know that, so...that was weak. but overall, i enjoyed it and thought it was worth the watch.
